Volvo 242 drag car, my first build ever


Recommended Posts

my very first build, volvo 242

 

at first I thought of building on Nova's chassis but that got out of hand.. it became my own chassis, built from scratch

 

and remember this is my first build, so be kind

Got to agree with this statement, once you start scratchbuilding building box stock very seldom happens. You are doing some really nice work with that chassis, looking forward to updates.

Thanks brother, question, what evergreen rods you use on this project, i normally use #222, for me is the most close to regular 1:1 tubes in scale for chassis
